Dragging a single edge handle to resize a text layer's bounding box incorrectly enables and locks both the Max Width and Max Height constraints together, even when only one axis was actually resized. Since Max Height causes any text beyond it to not be drawn, this can silently clip text that should still be auto-growing.
Steps to reproduce:
- Select the Text tool and click (don't drag) to create point text, then type several lines — this creates auto-sized text with neither Max Width nor Max Height enabled
- Switch to resizing and drag only the right-edge handle of the bounding box to set a width (so the text wraps)
- Expected: only Max Width becomes active; height keeps auto-growing to fit the rewrapped text
- Actual: Max Height also gets switched on and frozen to whatever the box's height happened to be before the rewrap — any lines that end up pushed past that frozen height are silently not drawn
Cause:
In editor/src/messages/tool/tool_messages/text_tool.rs, the ResizingBounds → PointerMove handler (around lines 851-920) unconditionally sets both HasMaxWidthInput/MaxWidthInput and HasMaxHeightInput/MaxHeightInput, regardless of which edge is being dragged. There's actually a TODO comment already sitting right above this code:
// TODO: Don't set both max_width and max_height to true at the same time, only do one based on which edge is being dragged (or both if a corner is being dragged)
The information needed to fix it is already available and just unused: SelectedEdges { top, bottom, left, right } in transformation_cage.rs records exactly which edge(s) are being dragged, and new_size() already leaves size.y untouched (equal to the pre-drag height) when only a left/right edge is dragged — that stale value is what's getting wrongly frozen into MaxHeightInput.
Suggested fix:
Gate the two pairs of SetInput calls on which axis was actually touched, per the existing TODO:
let (touches_width, touches_height) = (movement.left || movement.right, movement.top || movement.bottom);
if touches_width {
// set HasMaxWidthInput / MaxWidthInput
}
if touches_height {
// set HasMaxHeightInput / MaxHeightInput
}
A corner-handle drag naturally sets both pairs of edges, so both branches fire together there, matching the "(or both if a corner is being dragged)" note in the TODO.
